Why Choose Westport Montessori?
Our Head of School
Christina Wright
With 30 years of experience in early childhood, elementary, and Montessori education, my passion for caring for children began at a young age and has guided my life’s work. I take great pride in being an advocate for children, ensuring that every child’s needs are met each and every day. My commitment goes beyond academics—I strive to foster independence, spark curiosity, and inspire a lifelong love of learning in a nurturing, high-quality environment.
I believe Montessori education is more than a philosophy—it is a powerful approach to building a strong foundation for both children and their families. My leadership focuses on creating environments where children thrive, educators are empowered to grow, and families feel deeply supported. I am dedicated to staff development, community engagement, and building programs that are enriching, inclusive, and rooted in the needs of the community we serve.
